Pony Rides and Mittens

Sunday was a beautiful day. Perfect for pony rides. Cupcake is such a sweet pony. He is very patient and gentle. My dad's chickens (who have moved to our place) looked on.

Both kids got their turn. Daddy enjoyed himself too. Grandma and I watched and chatted. These are the kinds of days our happy memories are made of.

It's been a beautiful November, but this is Minnesota. We're getting ready for winter. I've been knitting mittens lately with bits of leftover yarn. It's a good feeling, like making something out of nothing.

who me?

I am a Christian stay-at-home mother of four who homeschools my two youngest children. We live in the country, 10 miles from town. I "retired" in 2006 from a great job in technology. I miss the gadgets, but am happy to be home with my kids. I am an OBSESSIVE reader! Books, magazines, blogs, cereal boxes, anything.
